We got out late (we’ve given up trying to get going early – being in an apartment makes it easier to hang around somehow).<\/p>\n

We walked down a few shopping streets, grabbed lunch, and found some really interesting stores (one that specialized in lighting and a rubber duck shop, for example). The lighting store (Controluce<\/a>) directed us to a print shop we’d visited at least two trips before, Giovanni Baccani – The Blue Shop<\/a>. We bought a large decorated box and a long narrow grotesque print.<\/p>\n

Then we visited the Organssanti<\/a> – only the church was open, the cloisters were closed for an event.<\/p>\n

Then we got a taxi to the Oltrarno (the other side of the Arno) and shopped and visited a couple churches.<\/p>\n

Aviva found a restaurant we’d been looking for, Ristorante Paoli<\/a> – I recommend it highly, they have good food and a very friendly helpful staff.<\/p>\n
